The Change and Development of Chinese Dramas in the Modernization Process

中国戏剧在现代化进程中的变化,与中国社会的发展进程密切相关。其原因,一是政治上的激发,二是戏剧人的觉醒,三是观众的选择。其变化与发展分两个阶段:戏曲改良时期和新剧(话剧)的产生。二者相互影响、学习、借鉴,逐步形成民族化的艺术形式。建国后,政治的需要向戏曲提出更高要求,现代戏应运而生。艺术不得不向政治靠拢,其发展受到束缚与限制。改革开放时期,戏剧创作获得了向本体回归的机遇。

The change of Chinese drama in the process of modernization is related closely to the development of Chinese history. The causes of that have three points, political stimulation, dramatists’ awakening themselves, and audiences’choice. The change and development appeared in two periods: the improvement of drama and the origin of new drama (stage play). The two kinds of dramas have been mutually influenced, studied and enlightened, gradually formed a nationalized artistic style pattern. After liberation, the political demand raised a higher requirement to the dramas, so that the modern drama was born to the time. The art had to go closer to politics, and its development was hampered and limited. In the period of reform and open after 1979, the drama creation has caught a chance to return to its own noumenon.
